South African pay-TV giant MultiChoice has confirmed revised pricing for its DStv packages in Zimbabwe. The adjustments will take effect on 1 June 2025.
In a public notice issued on Monday, MultiChoice Zimbabwe revealed that while several bouquets will see modest increases, ranging between US$1 and US$2, others will remain untouched.
The move marks the company’s latest recalibration amid rising operational costs and currency pressures across the region.
Top-tier subscribers will be relieved to know that the flagship DStv Premium package is holding steady at US$75 per month, alongside the Lite bouquet, which remains unchanged at US$9.
However, Compact Plus, Family, and Access subscribers will see a US$1 increment, bringing the new monthly fees to US$46, US$21, and US$16, respectively.
The most notable hike comes for DStv Compact, which jumps US$2, from US$30 to US$32.
Special interest packages, including Indian Stand Alone (Premium) at US$39, Indian Add-on at US$25, Portuguese Stand Alone at US$45, Portuguese Add-on at US$25, and the HD PVR Service at US$13, will all maintain their current pricing.
MultiChoice confirmed that these changes will apply equally across traditional satellite services and DStv Streaming.
The broadcaster has not publicly detailed the rationale behind the selective increases but has historically cited inflationary pressures, foreign exchange fluctuations, and content acquisition costs as key factors influencing pricing decisions.
Subscribers are encouraged to visit the DStv website or contact customer care for further details regarding their specific packages and payment options.
